Experimenting with Gocco

So I've been playing around with different papers and techniques with my new 'lil Gocco lately. I can't seem to leave well enough alone, and usually make the final print mixed media. I've only used black ink so far, printing it over watercolors, rolled ink, and colored paper. Here are some samples:

Printed over rolled ink (using a brayer) on a moleskine notebook, with colored pencils for raindrop details:

It's Gocco madness at my apartment now! I've been playing around with it for the last few days and it's so much fun! All sorts of possibilities. This is the first limited edition run I have made; Only an edition of six. The paper size is 6"x9" and the actual image size is approx. 5"x8". Watercolor and ink are used on top of the gocco print.

Helloooo

Busy, busy bee: is me!

I don't know where the month of June went, whatsoever, but here we are in July. Holiday weekend coming up and I'm excited to get out early on thursday and have friday completely free. What should I do?!

I finally gave in last night and bought a gocco machine. I have coveted one from afar for a long time now, but they announced they are officially discontinuing the machine this month, so I had to jump or lose my chance foreverrrr. It should be coming from Japan in a few days! Soo excited! If only I get it before the holiday weekend so I can PLAY! Must start sketching some ideas.

Speaking of sketches, here are some doodles:
